In a recent interview, she described the song as a "perfectly placed" piece that enhances the film's emotional narrative.
The track plays a crucial role in the film, particularly during its final scene, where an older version of Sammie Moore, portrayed by Buddy Guy, reflects on a pivotal moment in his life.

Jordan) and Mary (Hailee Steinfeld), who appear unchanged despite the passage of time.
As Sammie recounts his memories, he reveals the depth of his emotions with the line, “Maybe once a week I wake up paralyzed reliving that night. But before the sun went down, I think that was the best day of my life. Was it like that for you?†This poignant moment serves as the film's emotional climax, and Alice Smith believes the song encapsulates that intense feeling perfectly.
The collaboration between Miles Caton and Ludwig Göransson brought a unique sound to the track, allowing it to resonate deeply with the audience. Smith emphasizes the importance of music in storytelling, noting how a well-placed song can elevate the viewer's experience, making moments more impactful and memorable.
